Archaeo-Theatre

a digital playmaking collective

Archaeo-Theatre

is a collective of theatre and cultural historians, archaeologists, and digital designers reimagining Shakespearean play and performance spaces.

We’re at a landmark moment in English theatre history, following the recent discovery of a wave of 16th- and 17th-century playing places.  We want to develop new models for showcasing, researching, and playing in those spaces today. 

We’re currently working on our first ambitious project: Digital Playmaking: Spaces and Cultures of Early Modern Performance.

Watch this space for more. Be in contact.
